T

he body of the Poso suicide bomber was transferred to the Bhayangkara Hospital in Palu, Central Sulawesi, at 1 p.m. local time, on Monday, for an autopsy.

Speaking to journalists at Poso Police headquarters, Poso Police chief Adj.Sr.Comr.Susnadi admitted that the police had yet to discover the identity of the attacker. He said there was a possibility that the suicide bomber was a member of Santoso'€™s terrorist cell.

'€œBut it is also possible that he belongs to a local [terrorist] group,'€ the police chief said.

The incident, which occurred at around 8 a.m. local time on Monday at the Poso Police headquarters, occurred only minutes after the Poso Police had finished a routine call.

Chairman of Poso Alkhairaat Youth Association, Ibrahim, told The Jakarta Post that local residents in Poso were carrying out their daily activities as usual.

'€œThe bombing should not be seen as conflict among groups of local residents. It is clear the perpetrator and his group are fighting against the state,'€ he said. (hrl/ebf)
